The Philadelphia Eagles have a chance to hit the jackpot if speedy Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos falls to Round 2.
Amos is currently ranked as a No. 42 overall draft prospect by NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah and No. 32 by Pro Football Focus heading into the draft, which puts him toward the back end of Day 1 or early Day 2 pick.
The Eagles' interest in Amos is definitely there since they hosted the Rebel product in Philly this month at the NovaCare Complex.
Amos offers height and speed and was one of only 14 defensive backs taller than 6 feet to run a 4.43 40-yard dash or faster since 2003.
He enters the draft after starting all 13 games for the Rebels in 2024, amassing 50 tackles, 3 interceptions, 13 pass breakups, 3 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble
Aside from his speed, Amos's versatility makes him very intriguing to many teams, and he knows that.
“You’re going to see a lot of being physical at the line of scrimmage against wide receivers,” he told reporters when asked about the type of player an NFL team would be getting. “Being a technician. I feel like I’m a box of all traits. I can play man, I can play zone and do it all. Just going out there and showing what I can do. Be on the lookout.”
The Eagles pick at No. 64 in Round 2, but if they are desperate to address their cornerback needs early, then don't underestimate Howie Roseman jumping up a few spots to get Amos.
Here is Amos's scouting report, via NFL Network's Lance Zierlein:
Long press cornerback who proved he could make the jump from the Sun Belt to the SEC without a hitch. Amos can disrupt the release and plays with good short-area movement in man coverage. He can get a little lost at the top of the route and needs occasional safety nets over the top. He has twitchy feet to close and sees the action clearly from zone but can be hampered by indecisiveness, despite favorable instincts. Amos uses physicality and length to shrink the 50/50 odds in his favor. He can play in multiple coverage but is most consistent in zone. Amos needs to ramp up his run support and trust his eyes in space, but he has the goods to become a solid starting outside corner.
As the Eagles look to bolster their secondary and fill Darius Slay's void, they have also hosted Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston and Southern Cal cornerback Jaylin Smith for Top 30 visits.
